Default Annoying Squeeks

About a week ago I noticed small squeeking coming from my passenger side rear wheel well. Over the past couple of days it has become very noticable (and very embarassing). I thought it was just inside the car but I rolled the window down and I can hear it echoing off the buildings. I've checked for anything loose back there and nothing.. I've cleaned up my suspention parts and nothing. What the hell is squeeking back there... It sounds like a piece of wire rubbing on the wheel well.


Any help is apprciated.



and yes I've checked for rats

Did you check your rear break pads?
